Holotypus: SYRIA: sine loco, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 339 (G-BOIS [G00154006]; iso-: BM [BM000582590], G [G00002117], K [K000075760], MO [MO1619145], P [P00428104]) .

Notes. – Aethionema campylopterum is illegitimate because Boissier in Flora Orientalis listed the earlier published Campyloptera syriaca Boiss. as a synonym.

Boissier based the species description solely on the unicate in his herbarium, and he did not examine or annotate the duplicates in G or P (see BOISSIER, 1841a).
